Compilation on Solaris 8

radiance-general

First I would like to thank Georg for the tip concerning the mosaic.

I am contacting all off you to now if you have some experience of
compiling Radiance on Solaris 8.

I have try to install 3R4, but I got several warning and error messages
such as :

···

Or an this other error message:

At the end of the compilation some binaries are missing, compare to
radiance 3.1.8 that I have installed on a linux box.
In the following list, the (-) after the file name referes to files that
are missing after compilation of 3R4 on Solaris 8

Then I have tried to compile, the version 3.1.8 on Solaris 8. I still
have some warnings, but the list of files is similar to the list
I have on the linux side. Unfortunately, when I run a simulation I got
very often the following message:

rpict: 27851797 rays, 2.95% after 0.300u 0.000s 0.551r hours on pico
rpict: atan2: domain error
rpict: warning - compute error for colorpict "skyfunc"
rpict: 29280188 rays, 3.32% after 0.318u 0.000s 0.583r hours on pico

Thanks in advance for any suggestion.

Kind regards

Hi Stephane,

You should generally ignore warning messages from the Radiance compilations -- fatal errors and missing binaries are the real concern. In the case of Solaris, there is a problem with the "install" program used by the TIFF library, which I have not been able to manage to work around. The reason that none of the picture processing tools got installed was because of the failure in the src/px directory to make ra_tiff and normtiff, which depend on the TIFF library.

The solution to this problem is to change to the src/px/tiff/libtiff directory and run "make install", then manually move the libtiff.a program to the ../../lib directory like so:

  mv libtiff.a ../../lib

Then, pop up to the px directory and rerun "rmake install" like so:

  rmake install

That should install the picture filters. I wish I knew how to fix the TIFF library, but the install script is horribly complicated and uses the Bourne shell, which is something of a mystery to me....
